What is biosafety? Its main contents include

Biosafety generally refers to the potential threat to the ecological environment and human health caused by the development and application of modern biotechnology, and a series of effective prevention and control measures taken against it.

Biosafety mainly includes laboratory biosafety, alien species invasion, bioterrorism attack, major emerging infectious diseases, loss of biological genetic resources and human genetic resources.

Broadly speaking, biosafety is an integral part of national security, which refers to the hazards or potential risks caused by various factors related to biology to national society, economy, people's health and ecological environment. Biosafety in a narrow sense refers to the actual or potential danger to human beings, animals or plants caused by biological infectious agents directly infecting or indirectly destroying the environment.

Extended data:

Genetic engineering has a great application prospect. Nowadays, all countries in the world attach great importance to the research of genetic engineering and the application of its products, which actually involves the problem of "biological safety". Biosafety, in short, is whether organisms are safe for human beings and ecosystems, and generally refers to whether organisms are still safe for human beings and ecosystems after genetic engineering.

Although there are many controversies, the development of genetic engineering is still changing with each passing day. In some countries, genetically modified agricultural products have been listed, and China will soon have genetically modified agricultural products listed. It should be said that as long as we improve the operation of genetic engineering and appropriate laws and regulations, we can minimize the danger of genetic engineering (if any) and better benefit mankind.
